Clean your greasy hands
To remove car grease or paint from your hands, pour 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt or sugar into your palms. Vigorously rub the mixture into your hands and between your fingers for several minutes; then wash it off with soap and water. Not only will your hands be cleaner, they’ll be softer as well. The combination of healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins (particularly vitamin E and K) strengthens your immune system. Populations with high olive oil consumption often enjoy longer life expectancy and lower rates of chronic illness.
Not all olive oils are the same — their flavor, nutrition, and purpose can vary depending on how they are produced. Understanding the types helps you make the most of this superfood. Modern research confirms what ancient civilizations knew for centuries — olive oil is a powerful natural medicine. Contains compounds like oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, proven to protect cells from free radicals. Clinical trials show that replacing saturated fats with olive oil reduces heart disease risk by up to 30%.
